ADRIAN BELEW - Live in a Tree lyrics

Your mama is crazy

And your daddy's evasive

And they probably won't leave you alone

Between the neighborhood screaming

And the laundry and the t.v.

You can hardly hear the cellular phone

You feel stressyou need a rest

Too many things you've got to get off your chest

To be free to get some peace

You have to live in a tree

You gave away your stereo

And kept your pocket radio

And threw away the keys to your car

Then you loaded up a t-shirt

Booked a ticket on a steamer

And you boarded it for zanzibar

You had stressyou needed rest

Too many things you had to get off your chest

To be free to get some peace

You had to live in a tree

"live in a tree"
